Now your shop is fully integrated with Karla!

Product synchronization

Orders automatically include product data even when product sync is disabled. However, this data is captured at order creation time and may become outdated. For example, if a product image changes after the order is placed, the tracking page may display a broken link and fall back to a placeholder image. Additionally, product information sent with orders does not include translations.

When product sync is enabled, the plugin continuously synchronizes the latest product information from your admin panel to Karla, including translations. This ensures that products displayed on tracking pages always reflect the current state of your shop.

Enabling this feature will perform an initial full sync of all products, then automatically sync any new, updated, or deleted products while the feature remains active.

Webhook Receiver (Incoming Events)

Enable receiving events from Karla into your Shopware instance. This will validate any incoming requests with a uniquely generated secret as described in Webhooks.

Enabled Events accepts a comma-separated event names, or * for all events. Examples: shipments/delivered,claims/created. Set before enabling webhook (changes after webhook creation will be ignored). See Events Filtering.

The Webhook ID, Webhook URL and Webhook Secret values are read only and will be shown once you save the setting with the Enable Webhook Receiver toggle activated and you refresh the page.

Mappings

Use Mappings to define line item types (e.g., 'deposit'). This lets you exclude them from the order summary on the tracking page.

Multi-tenant

For Shopware instances with multiple sales channels, this configuration links each sales channel to a specific Karla shop ID. This enables using multiple Karla shops with a single Shopware instance.

Shopware Installation 10

You can retrieve the version of your sales channel if you click on it in the admin panel and you check the url: for instance in https://<your-shop-domain>/admin#/sw/sales/channel/detail/98432def39fc4624b33213a56b8c944d/base, 98432def39fc4624b33213a56b8c944d is the sales channel id.

warning

Make sure that the provided API credentials have access to all the shops defined in this setting. It is possible to have multi-shop credentials.
